Subj : txt2pkt.pl To : Jame Clay From : Maurice Kinal Date : Mon Feb 07 2005 11:56 am Hey Jame! I am taking the liberty of cutting and pasting this from a netmail I got from a kind and concerned Fido sysop. I didn't have this echo turned on but now it is. ______________________________________ ye ol' cut and paste begins From : Jame Clay 1:120/545 06 Feb 05 15:50:46 To : Maurice Kinal 07 Feb 05 19:31:12 Subj : script =============================================================================== Maurice, In case you still read this echo; I did receive that netmail from you about that script. Hopefully, my replies have also reached you...

Did you get a chance to look at the one modification I sent? I am planning a bunch of other modifications as I'd like to add your script as a function of a XML-RPC sever in the works here. Quite a few of your variables will need to be input from a client so that the end result is a Fido compliant pkt ready and able for transfer to an uplink(s). I thought that one alteration was an improvement over the typical call(s) to localtime and produced exactly the right output wrt DateTime. That tightens and speeds up the code, or at least here it did. Your mileage may vary. I'll be happy to post the alterations as they progress to this echo if you prefer. I certainly don't mind. I like and use Perl so this can work from my perspective. Life is good, Maurice --- Msged/LNX 6.1.2 * Origin: Coffin Point - Ladysmith, BC Canada (1:153/401.1) .
